how do i.....

[Guest Anonymous]

drop a v8 chevy into my 84 300zx?

and Hook up the stock turbo?

[grumpyvette]

VERY CAREFULLY:D

 

all kidding aside your going to need to ask much more specific questions about each part of the swap process,(like where do I get a swap kit? what are the points in the engine conpartment that are tight?, what wireing problems will i HAVE?, WHAT FIREWALL MODS ARE NECESSARY? etc. the guys on this site are great and will help you but that question is way to general for an inteligent answer and the compressor map for that stock single turbo is HIGHLY UNLIKELY to match a chevy V-8 flow chart or even 1/2 of the engines if you buy a second one, heres some flow maps
